BOZEMAN - The Yellowstone Park Foundation, the official fundraising partner of Yellowstone National Park, gave more than $3 million in grants to the park in 2007 for various projects.

The park used the money to landscape Artist Point, the famous promontory overlooking the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River; to improve hiking trails, restore genetically pure fish, fund education and research programs, and other projects.

The grants were made possible by contributions to the Yellowstone Park Foundation. More than 8,000 individuals, foundations, and corporations donated to the Foundation in 2007. The foundation is a nonprofit organization based in Bozeman.
